We started our year with the sale of student body cards, and although we did not attain a 100% quota, the results were quite satisfactory. This was the first year that students could buy an activity card, which entitled them to attend all school functions except athletic events at student rates. i Our President, Rodney Kellar, performed his duties well, capably assisted by Vice President, Jack Blair, Secretary, Margaret Lance, and Treasurer, Joan Womack. The council had quite a busy year, with such things to their credit as noon activities, and library education, in which they were aided by the English teachers. The organization of the Associated Men Students, boys equivalent to the Girl’s League, is a direct result of discussions carried on in the council. Provisions for a student court were introduced into the council, and, although they were not perfected, we feel we have supplied a plan for succeeding councils to follow. Awutal Stall If someone were to see us busily at work some Saturday morning, this is what you might have seen: Joan cutting out snaps while Gail pasted them in their proper places; Gordan wrapping some finished sheets for mailing; Betty typing at 90 (?) words a minute; Jean R. trying to learn the ropes for next year; Jean S. drawing caricatures; Allan designing the cover; Margaret pulling rubber cement off her fingers; and Miss Bryan biting her fingernails worrying about making the deadline. The responsibility for the publication of the Emeraude lies with the Honor Society; and the staff is chosen from its membership. The 1950 Emeraude staff is composed of Margaret Lance, editor; Jean Russell, assistant editor; Gail Snow and Betty Kellar, business managers, and Miss Norma Bryan, advisor.

So we thought when we were freshmen. We surprised everyone by winning the pep stunts. We’ll admit that we had a little help, but we carried the larger part of it through ourselves. The dances we sponsored also turned out well. Our officers -- Rodney Kellar, Donna Benson, Carol White, and our council representative, Margaret Lance -- provided the needed leadership for our class of seventy-nine members. Our sophomore year was more or less routine. We elected Bert Parcher, Jack Williams and Mary Ann Gordon as our officers, and sponsored hot dog sales, several dances, and a very profitable skating party. As juniors we started things rolling by electing Leslie Furer, Herb Ridderbusch, Betty Zimmerman and Eleanore Van Swoll as 5ur class officers. “The Sunshine Twins’’ was our play, and our carnival princess, Ann Larson, made a very gracious queen. Our prom, “Moonlight and Roses”, was a beautiful affair, with Eleanore Van Swoll as queen, and Bert Parcher as king. The princesses and princes were Mary Farwell, Ruby Balza, Margaret Lance, Leslie Furer, Cliff Boyd, Orrin Granlimd, Allan Kimble, and Bill Wilson. Besides all this we gave the first dance of the year with a theme - “Buttons and Bows” Well, now that we’re seniors we’ll admit that we didn’t exactly set the world on fire, but no one can say we didn’t try! Our play “The Fire Bug”, was a definite effort in that direction, but, although the play was very successful, it couldn’t be said that the world went up in flame. Our officers, Orrin Granlund, Gordan Ford, Zolene Carpenter, and Betty Hyde, carried out the duties of their respective offices with dignity and efficiency. Most of us feel that high school became more fun each year, and, while we are proud of being seniors, we should like to be graduating from the eighth grade again instead of from high school. BIRUTA STEINBERG From 1937 to 1944, Biruta attended elementary school in Latvia. During the World War n in 1944, Biruta, her father, mother, and grandmother were brought to a labor camp in Germany, and later were transported to a camp in Austria. In 1945, Biruta and her family were admitted into the American zone of Occupied Germany. While here she was able to attend high school. In 1948, after a short nurses training she became a nurse. While in duty it gave her an opportunity to work in Austria, Yugoslavia, and Italy. Miss Steinberg, with her family, came to the United States last August (1949).

Our carnival princess, Jean Russell, came in second that year. In our Sophomore year we had four yell leaders chosen from our class. They were LaVonne Johnson, Marlene Marianni, Joann Fields, and Jean Russell. Donna Rauch, our carnival princess, placed third that year. We began this year with the election of officers. They are Jack Fields, president; Ronald Barry, vice president; Marlene McBride, secretary; Donna Rauch, treasurer; and Charlotte Britts, student council representative. Our class play, “A Case of Springtime”, which was given in December was well attended. We chose “Undersea Fantasy” as our prom theme. Decorations were carried out in a unique and interesting way. With everything from mermaids and starfish to sea-horses the atmosphere seemed very realistic. Four of the feminine leads for the operetta “The Pirates of Penzance”, were chosen from our class. They were Marlene McBride, Josephone deMent, Marlene Marianni, and Jean Russell. We have all enjoyed the past three years, and we’re looking forward to having as much fun in the year to come.

We have had a very enjoyable year, even though we didn’t give the Fresh- men their deserving initiation. Instead, we gave them a dance which was a great success. There were games played with many of the freshmen partici- pating, and then dancing followed for the rest of the evening. We have quite a few of our boys in sports, some of which are on the varsity teams in football and basketball. Also during the football season we put on the pep assembly for the Vernonia game. The skit portrayed a Kangaroo Court. Our class officers for the year are Morris Pike, President; Terry Kar- noski, Vice President; Jean Karvonen, Secretary-Treasurer and Harold Davis, Student Council Representative. We would like to thank our class advisors, Miss Peterson, Mr. Leslie, and Mr. Hendricks for their excellent advice and guidance through the year. c w otii Harold Davis, Student Council Representative; Terry Karnoski, Vice President; Jean Karvonen, Secretary-Treasurer; Morris Pike, President.

On September 2, 1949, we began our high school career with 89 Freshmen enrolling in Rainier Union High School. We chose Gene Flippin as our President; Trudy Larson, Vice President; Crystal Hecker, Secretary; Barbara Rundell, Treasurer; and Jim Johnson, Student Council Representative. Several of our boys were on the football and basketball teams, and we are especially proud of Gene Flippin, our star. We also boast that two of our girls, Audrey Granlund and Beverly Campbell, were chosen as the school’s Yell Leaders. Our class has been well represented on the honor roll this year. We gave a dance and hot-dog sale after the Sherwood football game. Our Advisors, Miss Bryan, Miss Sundell, and Mr. Appleby helped make our year a successful one and we are looking forward to 3 more pleasant years at R.U.H.S Ott I cen.4 Barbara Rundell, Treasurer; Gene Flippin, President; Crystal Hecker, Secretary; Jim Johnson, Student Council Representative; Trudy Larson, Vice President.

Officers of the club were: President, Bert Parcher; Vice president, James Clayton; Secretary-treasurer, Jack Fields; and Student Council representative, Orrin Granlund. In the fall the Lettermen inaugurated special letters to be presented to Rainier athletes selected on the official Lower Columbia League teams. The trophy case in the hall was remodeled and decorated as a club project. At the end of the basketball season, Rodney Kellar was presented with a trophy as the player making the best percentage of his free throws during the varsity basketball season. We, the Yell Leaders, Beverly Campbell and Audrey Granlund, were elected by the student body at the first Pep Assembly of the year. We then asked Lloyd LeSollen to help us as another yell leader. Wendell Barnes joined us during the middle of basketball season, and helped us pep up the games. Our aim has been to serve Rainier High School to the best of our ability, and we appreciate the help the Pep Club has given us, and also the support of all the students this year. The Pep Club whose members constitute the Letterettes chose a variety of green and white skirts and white sweaters. The finishing touch was added with “Pep” emblems and green and white beanies. During the year our activities consisted of giving yells in the pep assembly and supporting the yell leaders at the games. Late in the spring a party was held for the enjoyment of all members. cCetttnttte. We began our initiation by “Working On The Railroad'’ on March 17, 1949. Then we had a nice surprise on April Fool’s Day. The Junior “fools” that were seen parading in the halls that day were Bubbles, Patty McGlone; B. O. Plenty, Jean Fields; Burlesque queen, Bobby Johnson; Strip-poker player, Margaret Lance; Pocahontas, Eleanore Van Swoll; Mummy, Gail Snow; Gravel Gertie, Zolene Carpenter; and Barfly, Leslie Furer. In September, the following officers were elected: Bobby Johnson, president; Jean Fields, vice president; Leslie Furer, secretary; Margaret Lance, treasurer; Gail Snow, student council representative; and Patty McGlone and Zolene Carpenter, point book. Our advisor was Mrs. Edith Ingold. Our activities during the year began with a pajama party at Bobby Johnson’s home. In December, Eleanore Van Swoll gave a Christmas Slumber Party where we all exchanged gifts. Gail Snow gave a luncheon for the Letterettes during Christmas vacation that was very nice. We had a lot of fun keeping the Junior girls wondering when they would be initiated. The initiation ended our activities for the year. The council, consisting of all the officers of the Girls’ League, is the governing group. We make plans for each Girls’ League meeting under the direction and advise of Mrs. Ingold. Each year the council nominates one girl for the Girls’ League Cup and the faculty nominates the other girl. The League then votes for the most outstanding senior girl who has done the most for the League. One of our annual events was the District Girls’ League Conference held in Clatskanie. The main officers, the representatives, and two League members attended. It was very educational and we all had a nice time. The officers for this year were -- President, Gail Snow; Vice President, Betty Keliar; Secretary, Ann Larson; Treasurer, Patty McGlone; Student Council Representative, Leslie Furer; Senior Representative, Bobby Johnson, Junior Representative, MarleneMcBride; Sophomore Representative, Charlotte Emmel; Freshmen Representative, Barbara Rundell; Historian, Wanda Munger; Song Leader, Jean Karvonen; Musician, Josephine deMent. The Girls’ League is an organization open to all the girls in high school. The purpose of the League is to bring a better understanding among the girls in all classes, and to care for the general interests of the girls. Each class had charge of a program for two meetings. Following the meetings refreshments were served. The League again sponsored the annual Senior Tea. ------ (Home 6c. CJub ’ jj The officers this year were president, Betty Gressett; vice president, Pat McGlone; secretary, Donna Benson; student council representative, Ruby Balza. One of the main events was the Twirp Season dance. Prizes were given for the best home-made corsages, which consisted of garden vegetables, tin cans, egg shells, etc. Our annual Christmas party was held shortly before Christmas vacation. We made our own refreshments which were popcorn balls and candy. This spring we kept flowers in some of the teachers rooms. We are proud of our new sewing machines, a new set of dishes and other equipment that we received this year. The kitchen was made more homelike by the addition of new curtains that the girls made. Some of the members helped make scenery for the operetta in the spring. 7. 7. F.F.A. is a national organization where membership is limited to high school boys enrolled in vocational agriculture. Along with vocational agriculture, training in leadership, parliamentary procedure, and public speaking are stressed. Rainier chapter F.FJV. rates high throughout the state. During the school year they give programs before the school and various organizations. The officers this year are Jim Davis, president; Richard Samples, vice president; Carl Kessell, secretary; Darrell Parcher, treasurer; and Robert Girt, reporter. The advisor for the F.F.A. is Mr. W. M. Cunning. TRen ' JZeac ue The Associated Men Students were organized last February 14. The purpose of the organi- zation is to get more boys interested in extracurricular activities. A point system has been set up so students who have the required amount of points may join a special group “The Knights . New members of “The Knights” are awarded with an emblem which represented this special group. The first officers for the past school year were: Bert Parcher, president; Gordan Ford, vice president; Orrin Granlund, treasurer; Allan Kimble, secretary; Donald Cramer, historian: Dale Bonser, Sergeant at Arms. Class representatives were: John Womack, Terry Karnoski, Harold McCollum, and Jim Davis. A few assemblies for the boys have been put on this year. Most of them consisted of movies and cartoons. “The Knights” went to see an ice hockey game between Portland and New West- minister Royals. This group includes Rodney Kellar, Gordan Ford, Bert Parcher, Darrell Parcher, Orrin Granlund, James Clayton, Allan Kimble, Rockne Foshaug, Jack Williams and Fred Rauch. (JiancJ The high school band is much larger this year, although not as advanced. There are 32 enrolled in band, including three majorettes. We played for four football games with the help of some alumni, and played four numbers for the fall concert. We played for several basketball games and gave a formation for the Sherwood game. Late in the spring the band was far enough along to do their share of the spring concert. v ( We hope that we will have uniforms soon. Watch for us in the Strawberry Festival. Boy’s Chorus was added to the list of music courses this year. It is a untary group with a very limited amount of time available for practice. One or two activity periods a week is all the time we can have, but we are able to learn a few songs. If no other activities interfere we usually have about 25 members. We took part in both concerts this year, and Mr. Leslie says, “Well done, boys. Let’s see you again next year.” The combined chorus, made up of the girl’s chorus and freshmen and sophomore mixed chorus, has swelled this year to 85 members. Their first performance of the year was at the Methodist Church where they sang a selec- tion of hymns. The big event of the first semester was the Fall Music Concert on the evening of November 18. December 22 the combined chorus presented a Christmas Cantata called “The Rose of Christmas”. After the Christmas vacation we started working on our operetta of the year “The Pirates of Penzance”. Leads this year were taken by Josey deMent, Jean Russell, Marlene Mariani, Donna Walker, Rockne Foshaug, John Vale, Morris Pike, Charles Becker, and Marlene McBride. Our next big event was the music contest at Newburg, April 15. Then we spent the rest of the year preparing for the spring concert and graduation. dioty'A Chon.u The chorus is under the direction of Mr. Millard Leslie. Sext et The Sextet, consisting of Charlotte Britts, Joann Fields, Josey deMent, Jean Russell, LaVonne Johnson, and Marlene McBride, has sung for several occasions this year. We sang for the concert that was held the first part of the year, the Education Week program, and the spring concert. We also entered the school music contest which was held in April. bunion A Case of Sprii jtime”, the Junior Class play, was presented on December 14, 1949, exactly three weeks after the parts were given out. Bob Parker (the hero) tried his magic tricks on the principal’s daughter, Joan. When the trick known as sawing a woman in half failed, Bob was in trouble up to his ears and had to spend the rest of the play righting himself with the police, the principal, and his girl friend. We appreciated Mr. McBride’s kind help and hard work in making our new stage scenery. We all felt “proud as punch” to be the first |class to get away from the old familiar gray curtained settings. We also think our cast set a record in getting along with each other and our kind and patient director, Mrs. Ingold. We finished off our play (and cast) by having a bang-up dinner with every- thing good to eat. The cast was as follows: Bob Parker ... Mrs. Parker .. Betty Parker .. Joan Abernaker Mr. Abernaker Dickie Parker . Gwen Anderson Louella....... Policeman .... ........Jack Blair Marlene McBride .Marlene Mariani ,. .Jo Anne Kosina .........Ted Davis ......Lyle Clark ... .Joan Womack .Charlotte Jessee .......Gene Ellis Mr. Parker...........Elvin Carpenter Mrs. Brunswick...........Anna McCall Mrs. James............Frances Berg Mrs. Hill........................Ruth Swart Miss Bright..............Joan LaFitte Eddie Abernaker.........James Clayton Stage Manager.........Wendell Barnes Director.................Mrs. Ingold Make-Up..........................Miss Wray Charlotte Britts, Jean Russell Quantet Another new group of musicians who sprung to fame on “De Gospel Train” is the Boys Quartet, composed of Rockne Foshaug, Morris Pike, John Vale, and Charles Becker. The quartet proved to be very popular and sang at a number of programs. After completing a successful year they are now wondering who will fill Rockne’s spot as top tenor next year. Our play, “The Fire-Bug” was given March 31. Jt was the first mystery presented at Rainier High School for several years. The action of the play takes place in an old-fashioned farm house in the town of East Clear- brook. The story progresses through a series of fires and thefts, and is finally climaxed by a murder. From then on, suspicion is thrown first on one member of the cast and then on another. Finally the murderer is revealed and the mystery of the fires is cleared up all in one startling speech from the character presumed to be the hero. Comedy is provided throughout by the antics of the old maid, Miss Irva Sawyer, and the lovemaking of Sheriff Obadiah Duncan. Pamela Carter Ursula Carter . Jacob Carter ..

By sponsoring a dance, and selling candy at noons, the Honor Society has earned a little money. On March 21 we initiated 7 students into our society. The initiation services were held first, followed by a delicious dinner which was enjoyed by everyone. The menu included our customary garlic bread. Orrin Granlund, Bobby Johnson, and Lucille Pierce are our new senior members. Donald Cramer was chosen from the junior class and Marian Winters and Jean Karvonen from the sophomore class. The Honor Society is confident that all seven will prove to be capable members. Each year the Honor Society sponsors the publication of the Emeraude and we have worked hard to make the 1950 Emeraude the best our school has ever seen. Our annual picnic is an event that we look forward to each spring. We always come home wishing that we hadn’t eaten quite so much, but still looking forward to next year’s outing. Coflumbian.

In 8 games the Columbians scored a total of 195 points for an average of 24.5 points per game. Given a few breaks the Rainier eleven would have had a championship club. The two games lost were by close scores and were not decided until the final few minutes of play. Seven of the Varsity were Seniors and will be badly missed by next year’s football squad. They were: Jack Williams, smashing, slashing fullback; Rockne Foshaug, outstanding at guard; Raymond Jessee, end and versatile kicker; Rodney Kellar, sleight of hand quarterback; Allan Kimble, fighting tackle; Gordan Ford, speedy end; and Dale Bonser, hard charging tackle.

VARSITY BASKETBALL Rainier began its 1949-50 basketball season with five returning lettermen. These boys and newcomers to the squad completed the season successfully with a record of 15 wins and 7 losses against high school competition. Offensively the high geared Columbians averaged 47.3 points per game while holding their opponents to a 38.5 points average. The struggle for the Lower Columbia League title was close with Rainier following Seaside and Scappoose, who were tied for first place. In District play the Columbians suffered a let-down against Vernonia which eliminated them from District honors. High spots of the season were wins over Scappoose, Seaside and a double win over the St. Helens Lions. At the conclusion of the season Jack Williams and Rodney Kellar were selected as members of the official Lower Columbia All-Star squad. Williams was a unanimous selection on the first team while Kellar placed on the second team. Raymond Jessee and James Clayton received honor- able mention. Seniors lost for next year are, Jack Williams, high scoring forward, Rodney Kellar, stellar guard, and Raymond Jessee, outstanding center.

In pre-season play the Jayvees won 5 and lost 4. In the Lower Columbia League they broke even with 7 wins and 7 losses. In the latter stage of the season the Jayvees were handicapped by the loss of Terry Karnoski, and Garland Brown who graduated to the Varsity. Next year many of these players will be bidding for Varsity berths and the experience gained on the Jayvees will prove invaluable.
